Summary

Naselle-Grays River Valley Elementary is a small K–5 public school in the rural Naselle area of southwest Washington, serving 127 students in the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 14.7 to 1, lower than nearby Mike Morris Elementary, Ocean Park Elementary, and Long Beach Elementary School. Although 71.65% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, the school has recently posted strong academic results.

Naselle-Grays River Valley was the strongest-performing nearby school with current testing data in 2025–2026. Students reached proficiency at rates of 55.38% in English language arts, 64.62% in math, and 66.67% in science—above Washington averages in all three subjects. Math is the clearest strength, exceeding the state by 21.51 percentage points and Mike Morris Elementary by 24.10 points. Science also led the nearby comparisons, while ELA results were above the state rate in Grades 3, 4, and 5. By comparison, Ocean Park Elementary recorded 28.27% math proficiency and 40.79% science proficiency. The school’s Grade 3 and Grade 4 math results were suppressed by the state, so those figures should be considered unknown rather than low.

The school’s statewide standing has improved sharply, rising from the 31st percentile in 2022–2023 to the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026, when it ranked 316th of 1,138 schools and received a four-star rating. Over the same period, ELA rose from 40.30% to 55.38%, math from 31.34% to 64.62%, and science from 52.38% to 66.67%. Its low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, suggesting particularly strong comparative performance for economically disadvantaged students. Still, because enrollment is small, yearly percentages can fluctuate, so families may want to watch whether these gains continue over several years.
